Miter Gauge
The miter gauge is equipped with individually
adjustable index stops at 90 degrees and 45
degrees right and left. The index stops can be
adjusted by loosening the hex nut (G, Figure 8)
and turning the screw (H, Figure 8).
Check the accuracy of the 90-degree stop by
placing a square against the miter gauge and
the disc, as shown in Figure 9.
To operate the miter gauge, loosen knob (J,
Figure 8) and move the body of the miter gauge
(K, Figure 8) to the desired angle. Re-tighten
knob before sanding operation.
The miter gauge body is set to stop at 0 degrees
and 45 degrees left or right. To move the gauge
body beyond these points, the stop (L, Figure 8)
must be flipped out of the way.
Operation
Raise the table into position, as shown in Figure
10. After turning on the sander, allow the disc to
come up to full speed before beginning to sand.
Slide the miter gauge into the table slot. The
miter gauge can be used from either direction to
facilitate the position of the workpiece.
Use both hands to hold the workpiece against
the miter gauge and sanding disc.
Keep the workpiece on the side of the disc that
is rotating downward (see Figure 10). This will
prevent the workpiece from being thrown
upward by the rotational force of the disc.
When sanding long workpieces, use supports
which are the same height as the sander table.
